The City of Atlanta has officially transition from the great ‘music boom’ of the 90’s to the ‘reality show mecca’ of the new millennium and as evidence of this known fact, ‘Househusband’ Peter Thomas of The Real Housewives of Atlanta has created a new awards show.

Peter invited a few reality stars and several media outlets to his Bar One Restaurant and Lounge last night (April 1, 2013) to make the special announcement.

Thomas, along with Love & Hip Hop Atlanta’s Benzino and David Mays (the founders and creators of ‘How Can I Be Down’ Music Conference, The Source Magazine, The Source Awards and Hip Hop Weekly), have teamed up to produce the first ever “UnScripted Reality Awards.”

The UnScripted Reality Awards will honor individuals who star in the plethora of reality shows that entertain and intrigue us.

There is an award show that acknowledges and honors the incredible talent and overwhelming influence of Reality TV Stars. Just as the film community has the Oscars, the music community has the Grammys, and the television community has the Emmys, this award show will bring focus to the genre that is steadily making a huge mark on popular culture.

In addition to Peter and his supermodel ‘housewife’ Cynthia Bailey, several reality show stars came out hoping to score brownie points for an award in support of the new venture, including cast members from Love & Hip Hop Atlanta, The Kandi Factory, Married to Medicine, R&B Divas, Basketball Wives, Big Rich Atlanta and more.

Major props to The Peter Thomas Entertainment Group (PTEG) for taking on this major venture and what better place to host a “reality show” awards show than in the city where just about ALLLLLL of them are taped?

That being said… The first annual “UnScripted Reality Show Awards” is scheduled to take place at Atlanta’s Woodruff Arts Center on September 4, 2013.

I have no idea what type of categories will be involved in the distribution of the awards but I have a few “reality” nominees of my own for 2013:

Sneakiest shit-stirrer (Cynthia). Most frequently disagreeable (Nikki). (I thought A Jarreau had a large mouth, but Nikki has a soup bowl and she’s always arguing with EVerybody! She can’t agree with ANYthing or ANYbod’s ideas) Ugliest fashion-line (Nikki). Best facial expressions (Phaedra and Nene in a tie). Nicest ass-kisser of everyone (Khandi). Most missed missing cast member (Marlo). Worst Grifter (Kim Zolciak). Laziest, Worst Liar (Kim Z. and Kenya M. in a tie). Most forgettable (what’s the RHOA basketball wife’s name from first season?)Most Recycled Character (Shay – 3 shows). Most Unbelievably Frigid Couple (Walter and Kenya). Most Believable and Fun Couple (TI and Tiny). Best Smacker While Talking (Quad). Most Ratchet Mother (Mariah’s mother ties with Mamma Dee). Most Inaudible Character (Scrappy).

Oh, and The Most Needy of a Good Ass-Whipping by Mariah on a Side Street when You See Her (that square-jawed racist white woman who put her hands on the young black woman and then lied to the police on Big Rich Atl and Kenya in a tie).

"the incredible talent and overwhelming influence of Reality TV Stars" Wow I did not know that taking lunch with frenemies, talking "she said, he said", gossiping and being catty was a talent. Oh and I forgot throwing bottles, being held back from fighting and shaking a tables were talent. I dont know why I have a masters when I could have just gotten implants and forget everything my mommma taught me, and get an award. They are fools to entertain me, just like the circus. Talent my ass.

I agree! Really Peter? Now theyve gone to far.They want to hand out awards for this mess.My list goes like this.Most ratchet show in the universe;L&HH_ATL. The celebrity look a like winner;Peter Thomas as Papa Smurf.The DF (Damn Fool) award goes to Mimi Faust.The crusty lips award goes to Scrappy.The punk of the year is a tie between Stevie J and Kandi Burruss.The "I should be ashamed of myself" award goes to Momma Dee.The "no neck" award goes to Benzino.and make no mistake about it,the "pimp" award goes to Mona Scott-Young!Now sit yall *** down!

most fights in one season- Bad Girls Club. They are unscripted reality show. The reunion is a no holds bar. I can even watch that show but my friend is always giving me a play by play. We watch the reunion show and everytime some one says "B*tch" we sip and when they fight or have to be restrained we gulp. I was completly drunk before the show even ended.

wow, you aint never lied. getting awards for being idiots on national television. mimi doing all that posing when she should be hiding her face in shame. using the excuse of her child to stay in stevie j house? smh.

newflash mimi he dont want you, thats why last season he tried to move you out to the burbs. you in his way idiot.

LOL…I agree with you about Quad. I have never seen a hairline like Quad’s in my life. I can’t do anything but stare at all that open space on the top of her head when she’s on camera.

I have a high forehead but I wear bangs. I don’t try to kid myself that I look good with my hair off my forehead because I don’t. I would love to wear my hair back especially in the summer but it looks weird, nowhere as bad as Quad’s, but it’s not a good look on me. Some ladies really need to take a reality check and not wear what is in fashion but what looks best on you. If she thinks her hairstyle looks good on her she is sadly mistaken.

I also agree Peter is doing too much. Reality TV is popular just like McDonald’s smoothies or Haagen Daz ice cream, but you don’t see that on an award show with most valued customer and all that. C’mon now. Award shows are set up for individuals who worked hard on their "craft" to be recognized. Reality TV is lucky it makes money let alone has an award show. Best award for acting a fool? Best person who put somebody in their place? This sounds foolish, yet I know brother looking at popular ways of making money.

The worst makeup and bad weaves award goes to Married To Medicine. They look terrible on that show. I do agree with you about the best fight scene they were fighting like two fools in the the hood. All of the shows should win an award for The Most Embarassing To Black Folks. #foolishness

How about giving out some scholarship awards for deserving students that need them instead of awarding for talentless and stupid behavior. Peter is trying to keep himself relevent like he’s doing things, lol.

Black people in Atl are forever giving award shows and Galas honoring themselves for breathing and drinking water. This town makes me laugh. Everyone is fabulous and famous. The "I’m better than you" mentality is epidemic. And the "do better" mentality is scarce.

I guess they’re about that fabulous life, lol. I really don’t get it, it’s like they revolve themselves around material bs, want to be in the spotlight for every little thing and they are nothing but D list celebrities, if that.

I guess ANYBODY can get an award these days (SMDH)!!!!!! I have a few categories:
"Non Motherf’n factor of the Year"
"Gone With the Wind Fabulous moment of the Year"
"The Prostitution/Whore of the Year"
"You Ain’t Bout This Life" Award
"The Broke Bitches Ball" Queen of the Year.

Most Desperate Award? All of those fools.
Pimp Award-Mona Scott-Young
Women hater award-Andy Cohen
Grown women acting like just fresh outta high school dropout hoodrats
and those men participating and encouraging that behavior????

@reese: I disagree. The R&B divas are all vocally talented ladies. I hope teh show gets interest in their music so they can continues. THEY ALL ACTUALLY SING but rihanna sells more records than they do. It is a shame.

Any Cohen is bound to come out with his own "Bravo Awards Show" so I don’t blame Peter for getting the idea started. He may get some coins for establishing the idea.

On another note: Mimi is sooooo gorgeous. She’s so young looking and fresh faced. I wish she would get some sense and quit dealing with Stevie J. Only deal with Stevie whenever it concerns their daughter.

since Iam black I must first say that I love this site and these people.Everybody that keep leaving negative are comments know people like this and you relate to these folks because you are them.Now getting back to what I want to say is why do you support white reality shows and can’t support your own? you love Kim AND Snooki and make sure they get paid why not other black folks HATERS?

I don’t see why people are always trying to signal out Atl as the place for ratchet and thirsty folks. Basketball wives is ratchet, all of the other housewives shows no matter which city, gossip girls, and all the thirsty for fame individuals who flock to L A to get on. And not to forget lhh New York, they just as ratchet up there too. Somehow people are always trying to take pot shots at Atlanta like their city is any better. This city is fabulous and not just for reality shows. From its rich history, to its progressive black population, to its fortune 500 companies, and it now being the Hollywood of the south with tons of movies being shot here. Atlanta isn’t all about the negative. I love my city.

Categories should include:
Hairstylist Repeat Award- for giving everyone the same tired ass swoop bang sew in.
All Dressed Up and No Where to Really Go- Married to Medicine
I Ain’t Used to Shyt- Married to Medicine
I Want to Be a Trend Setter- Shay, Joseline, Porsha, Quad

Peter needs to sit his fugly monkey ass down somewhere. Charcoal ape gorilla is nothing more than a fame whore who shouts out women. Have a seat! I bet some of those reality stars showing up have more money this his ass. Everyone looks decent but for real it looks like a CHITLIN CIRCUIT full of folks with a little bit of money.

"award show that acknowledges and honors the incredible talent and overwhelming influence of Reality TV Stars."….incredible talent…you got to be kidding me!!!

All reality shows are scripted to some degree, some more than others so I don’t see how Peter could create an award show with that title.

Can’t wait to see what the categories will be. Best Weave
Biggest Booty
Best Neck Rolling
Best Use Of Pointing Finger In Another’s Face
Best Use Of Wearing Mult-Layers Of Different Eye Shadow Colors On Eyes At One Time
Best Shucking and Jiving.
Best Eye Rolling and the list goes on. lol.

If they can get an award for acting a fool, where is my damn award for not giving out ass whopping to grown men who act like children? where’s my award for not falling it till i make it but grinding working hard and striving. Why couldn’t they bree giving out scholarships, or paying off student loans for recent graduates. I’m glad i don’t watch these women

Wrong reality show…..Peter and Kordell should have a "Race to the Bottom" reality competition. And the winner of the Down Low award tonight is [drum roll] it’s a tie…Peter and Kordell! Both of y’all come on down and getcha NeNe pumps.
